How did diamond engagement rings become popular?

I have a sapphire and white gold engagement ring. I was wondering when diamond ones became popular and why? I read once that sapphire ones were once very popular.

Does anyone know the history behind this?

Hi, I don't specifically know the answer to that question, but I hired a writer once to research the history of diamond engagement rings, and he turned out some very good articles.

They can be seen here if you are curious:

That may get you started on the right path.
